How Much Does A Tennis Racket Restring Cost?
At Racket Academy, we keep restringing simple and affordable. A Racket restring costs $25 plus the cost of strings, with a wide selection available on our Tennis Strings page. If you already have your preferred string, we can restring using yours for $35. This way, you get flexibility and professional quality no matter which option you choose.
Why Restringing Matters
Your tennis racket strings are just as important as the frame itself. Over time, strings lose tension, fray, or eventually snap. This directly impacts your control, spin, and power on the court. Even if your strings don’t break, they gradually lose their “feel,” forcing you to hit harder and putting more strain on your arm.
A good rule of thumb: if you play once a week, restring at least three times a year. Competitive players or those playing several times a week may need to restring monthly to keep their performance consistent.
Your Options for Restringing
1. Pro Shops at Tennis Clubs
Most tennis clubs have in-house stringers or partner with local professionals. It’s convenient if you’re a member, turnaround times can vary, and choice of strings may be limited.
2. Local Sporting Goods Stores
Large sporting goods retailers sometimes offer restringing. While convenient, the expertise of staff may vary, and you may not get the same level of customization or advice compared to a specialist.
3. Specialist Racket Stringers
Dedicated stringers, like those at Racket Academy, provide the best option for players who care about performance. Not only do they have the right machines and techniques, but they can also help you choose the right string type and tension to suit your style of play.
4. Online Mail-in Services
Some companies allow you to post your racket in for restringing. While this provides access to a wide range of strings, shipping adds time and cost. It’s usually best suited to players who aren’t in a city with specialist stringers nearby.
Choosing the Right Strings
Restringing is more than just replacing broken strings — it’s also a chance to tailor your racket to your game.
- Power seekers: Lower string tension increases bounce and power.
- Control players: Higher tension offers more precision and feel.
- Comfort first: Multifilament strings are softer and easier on the arm.
- Durability focus: Polyester strings last longer and suit heavy hitters.
If you’re unsure, a professional stringer can guide you to the perfect setup for your needs.
